RailKing PCC Street Car Operating Manual
followed by a special “passenger dong” sound which indicates that a
passenger wishes to exit the car at the current stop. At this point the
operator should release the bell button if he wishes to stop the car. If the
operator continues to hold the bell button down, the car will continue
traveling down the track until the operator chooses to release the bell
button. This option gives the operator the true sense of acting as the PCC
driver and responding to the passenger’s desire to leave the trolley (as heard
from the “passenger dong” sound). It also allows the operator to announce
the next stop well before coming to the desired trolley stop and precisely
control where the PCC car does finally stop. This option is the default
setting for the TAS feature.
Once the bell button is released, the PCC car will sound a single bell
“ding” and come to an automatic stop even though power to the track has
not been interrupted by the operator. Once stopped, the TAS feature will
play the sound of the doors
opening followed by the sounds
of passengers leaving the car and
others arriving. During this event,
the operator can expect to hear a
variety of different sounds,
including the driver asking the
passengers to move to the back, to
have their fare ready as well as the sounds of footsteps, general passenger
conversational sounds as well as outside street corner sounds. After a set
period of time, the operator can expect to hear the a double bell ding,
followed by the car door closing. Immediately following the door closing,
the motor will be engaged and the PCC car will automatically take off. The
TAS feature will automatically start the car back up in the same direction it
was traveling when the TAS feature was activated. So if the car was
traveling forward before TAS was activated, it will continue traveling
forward once TAS has completed.
Option 2 Manual Mode
The TAS feature is armed in the same manner
as Option 1, but instead, after the “passenger dong” sound has played and
the bell button released, the car will not automatically stop. To activate the
rest of the TAS features, the operator must stop the car and place it in the
neutral position by interrupting the transformer throttle. The car will not
automatically start up again after the initial TAS sounds have played,
Instead, the sounds will continue to repeat themselves giving the operator
